This review is from: Balancing Individual and Organizational Values: Walking the Tightrope to Success (Paperback)

Ken Hultman's Balancing Individual and Organizational Values is precisely what is needed in these times when so many prominent business executives are demonstrating a decided lack of ethical behavior, when accounting firms offering public certification of business results in fact certify what is in the accounting firms' and/or their client executives' best interests.

Regardless of the amount of bad press, I believe that MOST people truly want to do the right thing, to live and support positive values. This book enables individuals and organizations to search for their important positive values, and then move toward them, even under the pressures that have led others astray. With this book, individuals and organizations can actively move in the direction of positive, enduring values.
